Anyone still into gaming and or games? Noticed the thread ran a little dry... I love playing MMORPGs and games such as World of Tanks and World of Warships etc. Too many to list... hit me up if you ever want to chat or talk about new and upcoming games. I'll just be lurkin' around.

Also, anyone have Fallout 4? I'm interested in the PC platform version... but wanted to wait until the first big patch to come out to fix all the release glitches that games appear to be shipping with these days. Is it worth it or was did the hype train derail? Cheers

As a rule, for online games I've always preferred single player mode for 2 reasons: (1) The vast majority of people suck, and (b) the few who don't suck have a disproportionally high tendancy to be total jerkwads (unlike me). However, what's life without surprises, so I'd be happy to finally find a group that not only doesn't suck, but are nice to each other ... if that's a possibility, add me to the list.

Hahaha, I 150% agree. I use to be all about team games, like CS or WoW and would spend 9+ hours a day and would even come home on lunch breaks to play... but as I age... I am with you Roving Punisher. I am drifting towards single player. However I still love jumping on TS or Vent and hanging out, drinking and just shootin' the proverbial shit with fellow gamers and friends.

also, I tried isi_society in steam, but couldn't find you mate.

I got it and played it a lot for a few days, unfortunately having a job again has severely cut into my lazing about time

It's good fun, it feels more like Fallout 3 than New Vegas. Lots of changes and it definitely feels like a lazy PC version of a console controller game but I haven't found any obvious glitches, bugs or game-breaking cockups yet.

Sweet, thanks for the info. Might have to get a PC controller finally then... been putting it off for so long. But more and more games seem to be ported to controllers.

I really dislike bethesda ... their games are always so horrifically buggy, and your decisions almost never matter. At the absolute minimum, wait until after the holidays, for the price to drop by half and the worst of the bugs to be fixed before buying it.

Ha ha, bugs. SquareEnix is remaking FF7 (finally), but the original release featured a bug: If you try to enter Midgar on the third disc, the screen will go black, you'll see a red X in the corner, and the game will buzz at you. You need to restart the system to get out of it, and hopefully you had saved recently. This was a frustrating bug, because SPOILER. If you want to play the original game, you need to get the Greatest Hits version with the green stripe on the side, because they fixed that bug for the Greatest Hits version. In that case you'd have had to wait a couple years, not just until after the holidays, I'm pretty sure.

My favorite glitches are the ones the programmers put in to foil illegal copies. Like slowly turning you into a bird in Arma II. lol.
